Effects of Interesting Auditory Materials on Driving Fatigue: Evidence from EEG

Abstract

Abstract: Driving fatigue can cause huge casualties and property losses. It is of great significance to devise effective methods to reduce driving fatigue. In this experiment, drivers were asked to complete a monotonous driving task for one hour in a driving simulator to induce driving fatigue, while subjective fatigue, driving performance and theta wave power of brain were recorded to explore whether interesting auditory materials could alleviate driving fatigue. The results showed that drivers who listened to the auditory material had higher theta wave power than the control group did, indicating that listening to the auditory material is not conducive to reducing driving fatigue.

Key words: driver fatigue, driver distraction, driving simulation, EEG, theta rhythm

摘要： 疲劳驾驶是诱发交通事故的重要因素，研究驾驶疲劳的有效干预方法具有重要意义。本研究通过让驾驶员在驾驶模拟器中完成1小时的单调驾驶任务来诱发驾驶疲劳，同时记录驾驶员主观疲劳、驾驶绩效和脑电θ波功率，来探究趣味听觉材料是否可以缓解驾驶疲劳。结果发现，在单调驾驶条件下收听趣味听觉材料的驾驶员脑电θ波功率高于控制组，表明收听趣味听觉材料不利于缓解驾驶疲劳。
